## babel-bridge

This repo holds what we're calling a "bridge" package that is meant to ease the

transition for libraries that use "babel-core" as a peer dependency for Babel 6.

The issue with Babel 7's transition to scopes is that if a package depends on

Babel 6, they may want to add support for Babel 7 alongside. Because Babel 7

will be released as `@babel/core` instead of `babel-core`, maintainers have

no way to do that transition without making a breaking change. e.g.

```js

peerDependencies: {

  "babel-core": "6.x"

}

```

cannot change to

```js

peerDependencies: {

  "@babel/core": "6.x"

}

```

without it being a breaking change.

### Solution

To address this, we're releasing this bridge package, to allow users to do

```js

peerDependencies: {

  "babel-core": "6.x || ^7.0.0-bridge.0"

}

```

then where users of this package would originally have done

```sh

npm i some-package babel-core

```

to install Babel 6, they could now do

```sh

npm i some-package babel-core@^7.0.0-bridge.0 @babel/core

```

to install the bridge package, and install Babel 7's core.
